Domaine Pattes Loup Chablis 2022

A ripe, fresh and attractively spicy nose reflects a variety of both red and dark pinot fruit nuances

Champimonts (or Champs Pimont) is a Beaune Premier Cru on the mid-slope, in the south of the appellation, on limestone soils. The wine is made without chemicals or additives, apart from a very small dose of sulphur

The 2022 is pale in colour, with a discreet nose of red and black berries, purple flowers and forest floor, plus a touch of cedar. The palate is broad and silky, more powerful than expected, with the ripe fruit of a sunny vintage

The colour is straw yellow. The nose combines yellow apple, apricot and white flowers, with a touch of spice. The palate is young, juicy and fresh

Gamay 90% Pinot 10%

The beautifully layered nose offers another small step up in elegance and a large step up in aromatic complexity and spiciness to the essence of red pinot fruit and intense floral influence

The 2023 has a deep garnet colour and a nose of blackcurrant, blackberry and cherry, with toasty, lightly spicy notes. The palate is full, with silky tannins and good freshness, and a long finish

This Bourgogne Pinot Noir comes from the Magny lieu-dit, in the commune of Meursault. The vines are farmed with the same care as the estate’s great white cuvées, with naturally low yields

The colour is ruby with purple tints. The nose combines black cherry and fresh raspberry, peony and violet, with a touch of orange zest, undergrowth and limestone

2019 was a sunny, dry vintage that gave ripe, concentrated wines that kept their freshness. The nose combines black cherries in liqueur, plum, raspberry, violet and damp earth

The 2024 shows a nose of citrus peel and white fruit, with a youthful touch of oak. The palate is fine, bright and taut, carried by a clear mineral freshness
